Em (022000@1)                                                                            B7Well, (x21202@1)madman drummers bummers and Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat
                                                                        EmIn (022000@1)the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat
                                                                              B7With (x21202@1)a boulder on my shoulder, feelin' kinda older I tripped the merry-go-round
                                                                                 EmWith (022000@1)this very unpleasing sneezing and wheezing the calliope crashed to the ground

B7Some (x21202@1)all-hot half-shot was headin' for the hot spot snappin' his fingers clappin' his hands Em
And some fleshpot mascot was tied into a lover's knot with a whatnot in her hand
                                                                                              
Now young Scott with a slingshot finally found a tender spot and throws his lover in the sand
                                       EmAnd (022000@1)some bloodshot forget-me-not whispers, "Daddy's within earshot, save the 
buckshot, turn up the band"

B7We (x21202@1)were blinded (blinded) blinded (blinded) blinded baby by the light
                                                                      EmWe (022000@1)were blinded (blinded) blinded (blinded) blinded baby by the light
